Measurement in Maths! T1W4

 We have had a great time learning about measurement in Kōtuku. We were able to choose different items to measure. We guessed how long some things were, and then measured them to see if we were correct. We used our small tables, sand pit toys, branches and rulers. It was so much fun!

Kōtuku Community Club T1W3

 Today, as part of the school values 'Whanaungatanga' (community) and 'Kaitiakitanga' (others) we went for a walk around Moana picking up rubbish off the side of the road, in the gutters, around the church and in the bushes. We were very surprised at the amount of rubbish we collected, as Moana always looks very clean and tidy. 

We had groups of four people who worked together to fill up their rubbish bags. Almost all of the bags were filled. The type of rubbish we found were: cans, beer bottles, cigarette butts, bottle lids, drink bottles, glad wrap, chewing gum, a hair tie, kit kat wrapper, packets of chips, chocolate ice cream wrapper, knickers, socks and so much more!










Today we went down just two streets. We can't wait for next week to collect rubbish again, but this time, with BIGGER bags!

Swimming in 2022!

 Welcome back to 2022 Kōtuku's Class Blog!


We've had a great start to the year by welcoming two new students to our school and class! Welcome Harmony and TJ!

This term we have decided to make use of the greatest resource we have, right on our doorstep - the lake! All Lake Brunner School classes have had their first week of swimming lessons in it, and we can't wait for next week!






While the swimming lessons were taking place, the rest of us were demonstrating our Character Strengths with creativity, leadership, kindness, perseverance and many more!
